headline: Download jq
body:
- text: |
jq is written in C and has no runtime dependencies, so it should be
possible to build it for nearly any platform. Prebuilt binaries are
available for Linux, OS X and Windows.
The binaries should just run, but on OS X and Linux you may need
to make them executable first using `chmod +x jq`.
jq is licensed under the MIT license. For all of the gory
details, read the file `COPYING` in the source distribution.
### Linux
* jq 1.4 binaries for [64-bit](linux64/jq) or [32-bit](linux32/jq) systems.
* jq 1.3 binaries for [64-bit](linux64/jq-1.3/jq) or [32-bit](linux32/jq-1.3/jq) systems.
* For Arch users, a PKGBUILD for jq-1.1 is in the
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=63849), as
well as a PKGBUILD for the HEAD of master
([jq-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=63850)).
You can install them using
[Yaourt](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt) or
manually by following instructions on [Arch Linux's
Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_UseRepository).
* jq 1.4 is [in Debian](http://packages.debian.org/jq)
* jq 1.3.2 is in the official Fedora repository. You can install using
`sudo yum install jq`.
### OS X
* `brew install jq` using [homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/)
* Or, grab prebuilt jq 1.4 [64-bit binaries](osx64/jq) or [32-bit
binaries](osx32/jq)
* Or, grab prebuilt jq 1.3 [64-bit binaries](osx64/jq-1.3/jq) or [32-bit
binaries](osx32/jq-1.3/jq)
### Solaris
* `pkgutil -i jq` in [OpenCSW](http://www.opencsw.org/p/jq) for Solaris 10+, Sparc and x86
* jq 1.4 executables for Solaris 11 [64-bit](solaris11-64/jq) or [32-bit](solaris11-32/jq)
### Windows
* `chocolatey install jq` using [Chocolatey NuGet](https://chocolatey.org/)
* jq 1.4 executables for [64-bit](win64/jq.exe) or [32-bit](win32/jq.exe)
* jq 1.3 executables for [64-bit](win64/jq-1.3/jq-1.3.exe) or [32-bit](win32/jq-1.3/jq-1.3.exe)
### From source on Linux, OS X, Cygwin, and other POSIX-like operating systems
* [Source tarball for jq 1.4](source/jq-1.4.tar.gz)
You can build it using the usual `./configure && make && sudo
make install` rigmarole.
If you're interested in using the lastest development version, try:
git clone https://github.com/stedolan/jq.git
cd jq
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
sudo make install
To build it from a git clone, you'll need to install a few
packages first:
* [Flex](http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/)
* [Bison](http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/)
* [GCC](http://gcc.gnu.org)
* [Make](http://www.gnu.org/software/make)
* [Autotools](http://www.gnu.org/software/automake)
For Linux systems, these will all be in your system's package
manager, and if you do development on the machine they're most
likely already installed.
On OS X, these are all included in Apple's command line tools, which
can be installed from [Xcode](http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/).
However, you may find that you need a newer version of Bison than the one provided
by Apple. This can be found in [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/)
or [MacPorts](http://macports.org/).
`flex` and `bison` are used to generate the lexer and parser for
jq, and some python scripts generate the UTF8 encoding tables
needed for JSON parsing.
#### Building the documentation
jq's documentation is compiled into static HTML using
[Bonsai](http://www.tinytree.info). To view the documentation
locally, run `rake serve` (or `bundle exec rake serve`) from the
docs/ subdirectory. To build the docs just `rake build` from the
docs subdirectory. You'll need a few Ruby dependencies, which can
be installed by following the instructions in `docs/README.md`.
The man page is built by `make jq.1`, or just `make`, also from
the YAML docs, and you'll still need the Ruby dependencies to
build the manpage.
